Argos and Superdrug Picketed in Workfare Demonstrations

This weekend, demonstrations took place in Leeds at Argos and Superdrug use of workfare labour:

Leeds Unemployed Action Group reports:

On the 3rd of November, we took to the streets in Leeds to highlight companies that are involved in workfare. Leeds Unemployment Action Group protested outside Argos and Superdrug from handing out our flyers and speaking to members of the public we raised awareness into the public conscience about workfare. Most members of the public were disgusted to find out that big brand names like Argos and Superdrug are involved in a scheme which exploits the unemployed.
